Overview
- Series officials confirmed on June 17 that Evan Williams will ride in the Fastest Seat in Sports at the XPEL Grand Prix at Road America on Sunday, June 21, and reports say he is expected to be a passenger with retired driver Davey Hamilton.
- The Fastest Seat in Sports is a specially built two-seat Indy car that carries a celebrity passenger on pace laps and leads the field to the green flag at NTT INDYCAR Series races.
- Television and radio coverage for the XPEL Grand Prix begins at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT) on Sunday, June 21, with the Fastest Seat appearance slated for the on-site and FOX national broadcast and INDYCAR Radio.
- Williams, a 2024 fourth-round pick, was named to the PFWA All‑Rookie team and last season recorded 89 tackles, four tackles for loss and a team‑high three interceptions in 16 games, a rise used to underscore his profile for the appearance.
- The Fastest Seat has hosted high-profile figures from sports and entertainment and the Road America appearance gives Williams local resonance in Wisconsin while offering national exposure that could broaden his public profile beyond the NFL.
